Caspian City

I have just added this to my list of places to go in this lifetime: Caspian City
"Located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan Caspian City is clean and stress free place to live or visit. A smaller rural type city of over 1,000 residents boasting many activity centers in town including the Iron County Multi Purpose building/Ice Arena, the renowned Iron County Museum, Apple Blossom Biking and Walking trail, Spring Valley Tubing & Ski hill, and the Caspian Community Center. There is no finer hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, four wheeling, golfing, hiking, or skiing opportunities anywhere in the country. We strive to provide a stress free lifestyle with all the qualities today's families require. In addition, our little city boasts some of the best ethnic cooking in the state."

Changing batteries in the iPod

Anyone have an iPod? Curious how they work? It's old news that the batteries just don't last, and Apple make it almost impossible to remove. Well, the other weekend, with the help of a kit ($50) I operated. It is a brutal procedure that involves more force and swearing than you might expect but it is totally do-able. My battery no longer flakes after 2 hours, and sitting in its Muji case on my desk you'd never know that the equivalent of a colonoscopy with a mallet was conducted. Rock and roll continues.
